Viewing Active Files
When you have multiple documents open, there are several different ways to control which one is currently being displayed. Expression Design contains a Flip bar at the top of the document window that displays the names of as many open documents as it can fit. By clicking the document name, you can bring it to the front of the stack. All open documents (including those not shown in the Flip bar) can be accessed via the active files list located under the Window menu, or via the Active Files menu to the far right of the Flip bar.
Choose the Document Name from the Window Menu
You can view a numbered list of open documents under the Window menu. The current document has a check mark displayed next to its name.
Select the name of the document you’d like to view.
